Dynamic imaging of molecular dynamics is one of the grand challenges of science as it requires sub-Ångström spatial and few femtosecond temporal resolutions. These demands are fulfilled by laser-induced electron diffraction (LIED), where a molecule is structurally probed with its own returning electron after tunnel ionization induced by a strong mid-IR laser field. Here, we present the retrieval of multiple bond lengths from polyatomic molecules by simultaneously measuring the C-C and C-H bond lengths of aligned acetylene. Our approach is based on the combination of an ultrafast 160 kHz mid-IR source with full 3D electron-ion coincidence detection towards investigating ultrafast processes like e.g. dissociation or proton migration.
